I'm just wondering whether to upgrade from v3 to v4, and personal experience, hints or tips?
I've been using 4 since it came out and haven't seen any problems or performance issues. It's even spotted a couple of things on a hijacked site and submitted them for analysis too :)
I used version 4 till I had the Mac, and still use it on Justina's Laptop, no issues bit of a slowdown but not much, that along with windows firewall and Prevx and all was well.
Thanks, guys. :thumb:
I use v4 with no problems at all. :)
:thumb: :) :)
I have the v4 Eset Smart Security running on 3 machines ,2 x 64bit,1x 32bit and have had no problems at all.
Thanks, Dorset. :thumb:
Still using 3, recently updated to v3.0.695.0, I don't see any reason to change yet.
Thanks. I'm looking at which version to move to from the v2 I have on three machines. As I already know v3, I might put v4 on "Sue's machine", the second desktop, and v3 on this one and the laptop, then see how they perform.
Have a browse through the NOD32 forum on Wilders, Rik. http://www.wilderssecurity.com/forumdisplay.php?s=d607ac483fd63b14f2afdd94079e61b2&f=88
I already looked before asking. Which is why I asked. ;)
Still running v2.51.30 on all four Windows machines here.
You're as bad as me, Drummer. :)

V3 has no bad/no self defence Noreen, therefore malware could disable it, V4 has much better protection against that, been running it for ages and no issues at all, I would rather make sure malware cant disable an AV than use an older version
I had read (on Wilders) that 4 had many more issues than 3, is that no longer true?
I wait with bated breath for the answer. :)

All seems to be cleared up now. I see no problems at all with Smart4.
Thanks, Dorset.

What's Smart4, Dorset?
I think that's the full security suite, Noreen.
So might that be different from the stand-alone NOD32 v4, Rik?
It is.
do you need to re-buy for V4 then.I dont get any info about an upgrade when checking
No, if your licence is valid, you can upgrade.
Please download the latest build version of the software v4.0.474 to your desktop
http://www.eset.co.uk/Download
Un-install your current version Start Menu > All Programs > Eset > Eset [productname] > Uninstall
Reboot and install the newly downloaded file.
You will need your Eset username and password to start the download. (That's the username/password which is used for updates.)
Also note that you shouldn't use the uninstall program on Control Panel, use only the one via Start, as Rik said.
I use NOD 32 v4 on this machine and ESS v4 on my laptop.
There was a few issues with both versions on windows 7 when it came out. kept saying you didn't have permission to save files but they fixed that.
Both NOD 32 & ESS v4 run fine for me.
Thanks, Paul. :thumb:
Well, I'm going to wait and see how you get on, Rik. ;D
Thanks. No pressure then. ;D
Just go for V4 Rik, as that way you won't be so far behind when V5 comes out!
;D
You know me too well, Lance.
We need v5 asap tbh, Nod32 is falling behind the competition, i dont care about extra features other than something like "norton insight" or w/e its called
But detection is falling and i no longer feel safe from new threats - they also need to improve trojan/spyware/adware protection
My gf woke me today:
"It says here your under attack?!"
"What? That looks like a UAC prompt but iv never seen that before...CLOSE IT Quick!"
Closed it and it then had another fake windows alert telling me to scan...closed it and another download prompt came up
Nod32 should intercept this imo
That's what happens when you let your gf play unsupervised, Sam. ;)
haha
"What site where you on?"
"Facebook"
...
Say no more. :)

For NOD32 to stop this they will have to monitor Javascript in websites and change it when some dodgy script is spotted.. Norton got a new hole torn for this!! That's why some speedtest sites never worked with norton enabled.
To stop this, download the no script & adblock plus plugin for firefox.
ill try no script however adblock always made browsing laggy and choppy, giving me a headache

That will be the fake "...has viewed your photo" virus. If you're daft enough to click the link (if it was your photo that had a comment made against it, you would get a normal message, not a request to install an app!) then you start having virus fun! I've seen a lot of people fall for it. In fact, I had one in my inbox this morning. Facebook gets a lot of grief for virus things, but at the end of the day it isn't facebook it's malicious users as usual trying to riddle your PC with a virus plague :D
As I mentioned before, as with all things, if you yourself install a virus then it will generally bypass anti virus software. There are sites out there (I found one the other day that was from a hacked advert on someone's Wordpress page) that pops up and blocks your browser from going back, or closing it. If you shut the browser it will simply act as if you've asked it to save the tabs and load on restart so you have to right click and close the tab in the browser.
I imagine these are pretty difficult to block as you can be blocking a legit page on a site if you manually add a block rule in your router, add block, AV etc. Still, if a site has been hacked I just block the site and don't use it again. While it's not their fault I think it's not worth the risk if they use software that can be hacked (after all Wordpress is updated VERY frequently)
